Sunday Day 61 – 1st March
Swimming for Bee in the morning and then just a chilled out Sunday. Finally decided to sew on Bee’s karate badges onto her trousers and she was kind of shocked that I could sew. She seems to have forgotten I did all the badges for her old karate school! Ok I am not perfect with sewing and stitches but I can just about get her badges on.
Monday Day 62 – 2nd March
On a mission again to get fit. I haven’t been feeling right recently and I know it is my lack of care over the food I have been consuming and my lack of exercise. So recharged the Fitbit to get me motivated and got back on the treadmill after my pilates class. Started off with walking to get me back into it but want to try the couch to 5k again. Pilates has shown me my left arm and shoulder are stiffer than my right… and I can find it painful to move them excessively so I need to work on them. She gave me some more exercises to do at home.
Tuesday Day 63 – 3rd March
Today I decided to have a go at step aerobics at home using a youtube video. I have the equipment ( I got a lot of stuff last time I was in my get fit mode) so I may as well use it. Found a 20 minute work out on youtube which did make me sweat. Took part in a blog hop with some other bloggers in aid of World Book Day this week and wrote a post about encouraging your child to read.
Wednesday Day 64 – 4th March
My leg was aching after yesterdays workout so decided to give exercise a break today. Hubby ended up taking today off work. He had an appointment which took longer than he thought so decided to take the day off and go to work tomorrow instead. While chatting to my brother he reminded him to bring round his cutting machine to cut my big buddlei bush….I had cut it back before winter but some thick branches at the bottom needed cutting which couldn’t be done with the hand cutter. Bro decided to come then as he was free. (He lives 30/40 mins away). As it was all so unexpected I hadn’t cooked anything so hubby got a takeaway for us all. In my keeping of trying to keep healthier I got some chicken…which doesn’t mess with my sugar levels too much. It was OK.
Thursday Day 65 – 5th March
The plan had been to go to an exercise class today with a friend but she cancelled as her baby had had a rough night….plus we had to go into school in the morning to read with the kids as part of the World Book Day, which would have then made us late for the class. I was kind of glad as my leg was still aching a bit and I thought an intense class may make it worse. Bee dressed up as Matilda with a simple blue dress and a red hairband. Some kids ended up saying to her she didn’t look anything like Matilda. I am a bit sick of World Book Day and how competitive it seems to have become…with kids wanting to out do each other with their costumes.
Couldn’t decide what to have for lunch and then decided to make my own version of samosa chaat as don’t like any of the ones from the takeaways. Chucked in all my favourite sauces and spices and hoped for the best. Turned out pretty good!
Friday Day 66 – 6th March
Bee was taking part in a drama festival on behalf of the school. So after dropping her at school I then had to pick her up less than an hour later to take her. She had a poem she had to memorise which she did. She performed well but didn’t come in the top three. I must admit I was a bit miffed when I heard how much effort Bee’s friends teacher had made with her learning the poem and helping her….Apparently Bee was only listened to a few times at school by her teacher. Considering there was limited help from her teacher, and the fact that we are always home late due to karate etc so didn’t practice as much as she should have…she did well and I am proud of her.
Saturday Day 67 – 7th March
Usual Saturday of karate in the morning for Bee and Islamic class in the afternoon for the eldest. Popped to the garden centre while Bee was at karate. Got some tomato seeds and pepper seeds for Bee to plant and grow. Love all the animal ornaments at the garden centre.
hehehe! It is good to surprise our kids now and again. I remember my two being shocked that I could sew.
Good luck with getting fit. I am feeling sluggish and I am totally blaming the winter and being cold. It’s easier to eat healthily and exercise when the weather is warmer.
The samosa looks amazing! x

True the weather certainly can make a difference!
Well done to Bee even if she didn’t end up in the top three, my son wouldn’t be able to talk in front of everyone anyway, so well done to her. #366
Thank you! Yes I am so proud of her just being able to stand up in front of everyone and do it.
That is nice you got to sew on the karate badges, I did that with the gymnastics one, it took longer than I thought. The food looks so good. I love those garden ornaments, I need some of them xx
I would love to get a lot more ornaments for the garden but they are not cheap!
Well done to Bee for the drama festival! I don’t miss World Book Day at all, although I don’t remember the kids or parents getting too competitive. Hope you manage to get on top of your aches and pains and can really work on your fitness.

I will be glad when we are done with World Book Day!
Good luck with getting fit. Matilda is a good costume choice for World Book Day and I’m sure that Bee looked great. Well done to her for taking part in the drama festival and performing well in spite of having limited opportunity with the teacher to practise. #project366
Thank you!
Good luck with the getting fit programme! Well done to Bee for performing in front of the audience, even if she didn’t get into top three!
That’s a lot of animal sculptures!
A blue dress and a red hairband sound right for Matilda. Why did the other kids not approve of it? What else did they think Matilda should be wearing?
Not sure why they didn’t approve to be honest.
I’m fed up of world book day also and it’s been 10 years since my last child was in primary, it looks so competitive online these days. Well done to Bee with her poetry reading and good for you getting back on the exercising. The food sounds a good choice this week

Wow, do kids normally have low expectations of their mothers? I hope your workout routines help you achieve your goal. Good luck! World Book Day sounds nice but competitive? strange. I love Matilda!! OoOoo different from the samosa chaats over here in Pakistan but that looks really tasty. Shame about the poem but atleast she worked hard as much as she could which is more important. The animal ornaments look amazing!

She hasn’t seen me sew so thought I couldn’t.
Good luck with the fitness drive! I find it’s good to do a few things to keep your interest and motivation up. Well done to Bee with her phone.
